it may well start at 28000yen yeah, 140 quid or so, that sounds fine. it'd cost you above and beyond £1500 in all other fees though, once its all here

we're camping. come and spoon us.

they wont explain much, all the info you'll need is on these here forums, or ask someone knowledgable. also, that isn't a technical manual, just a random user manual, thus its useless. its based on the n/a models so the turbo stuff will be very vague, it'll be generic stuff on the entire range so you wont get much help from it. thus, i'm right.

at 'least' 430.... ^^; its like, rediculous. also i'm going to be making burgers, so if you turn up, then you can try one. for about a tenner ofcourse.

coilovers is your only route tbh mate, my glanza was LOW at the front, on tanabe shocks, but i've no idea what springs were in there, i believe they were PI or something progressive, either way, they were absolutely ROCK solid. they'd shake your fillings out if you weren't paying attention, many times i saw my spine explode out of the top of my skull. As you can see, it was plenty low enough. on the many sets of 14's i had, it'd happily sit with a good portion of the tyre up in the arch, without any scrubbing (as im fantastic at matching tyre sizes with offsets). the only way you'll get l

if you can't find the sump plug anyway then you need a slap
-
you may find one for the UK EP91, but not the glanza/gt etc, haynes is a euro thing, so it won't have been made for the import turbo models
-
pretty much is, thats just being pedantic. I have a blitz bov kit for sale if you need something a tad more jdm, see here.

Does this work on a glanza as well
ecksjay replied to Randy McShag Swindon's topic in Lifestyle General
yes its the same, hence why i wouldnt trust any mileage on imports brought in to the country, especially starlets. i could quite happily wind it back in about 5 minutes -
the stock ct9 mani on a td04? the STOCK mani? are you sure? considering one of the runners are like, completely blocked up.....
-
mikey??? WITH A MODIFICATION?? DEAR GOD.....
-
logs are shit, easy to make, very basic and nowhere near as efficient as proper tubular manifolds, but, they're cheap and easy to make. if you're using a td04 then it may be worth asking the guys who have made their manifolds for em already, as they'll obviously need a particular style manifold to suit the turbo's flow characteristics.
-
ideally, yes, but it all depends on the turbo. on the ct9, it doesn't really make a difference, but if you were upgrading to a larger/better turbo (i.e one with a wastegate that actually works, or a 'decent' hybrid) then you'll know know by experimenting.

The Cynos B Turbo...or Asshat as I like to call it
ecksjay replied to riko666's topic in Paseo Progress Blogs
i wouldn't. look at it. LOOK AT IT. its like those floor bars mate as rick said, mate, so funny that people think they make a difference. they don't do a thing. at all. ever. its lush. -
its better than stock, but its still shit. they aren't the biggest calipers in the world

tonos really really really loud ep91 (159.8db) epTastic
ecksjay replied to tono's topic in EP91 Progress Blogs
i'm not denying its loud mate, RE stuff is legendary, i've had a few of their subs myself over the years, but i do still argue that its not the loudest hatch, i used to be a frequent member on TA so i know alot of the boys on there. i assume its sat on the bump stops though? not really a drivers car. this is for serious SPL boys, thats one hard hitting little starlet. i can't help but wonder why you used a starlet to begin with, they aren't the most solidly built cars in the world, the word 'tin can' comes to mind -

i never initially said it was rust, i said rot -
wepr stuff is made of the weakest SS in the world, and the speedvision stuff is made by children, personally, i'd stay well clear of both, although, please add some more info as to why you suggest to stay away from speedvision (we all have our own opinons after all).

ecksjay replied to riko666's topic in Paseo Progress Blogs
mate, from the looks of that underside, the entire car is going to rot away before you finish putting parts on it, you'll just end up with a big pile of nearly new stupidly overpriced goodies sat on your driveway, amongst a pile of rust and dust -
you sure its got an LSD mate? you didnt list it in your first post.

RG make 12k springs for their coilovers, and nothing but, so even if it is organic, well, it aint gonna be light.... and if it is, then thats prob just the nature of it. i'd love to play with their paddle stuff, its probably actually made of concrete why did you get an RG out of curiosity? -
stay away from those crappy wolfrace things, every chav and his uncle has them on their puntos and saxos etc, its a regular in the corsa scene. stay well clear, do it right, personally i'd go for an OEM optional wheel from a different toyota or something, keep it in the family (just go up a size or two). also, dont bother with a hks mushroom filter, mainly because they're absolute crud (offer sod all filtration, they let crap like stones and small children into your engine) and they also dont last very long - they dry up and break apart, which again isn't nice to have inside your engine. if

RG Clutch? well, that'll be fun, they make the worlds stiffest coilovers so i wouldn't like to hazard a guess as to what they're clutches are like.. -
